The Debrief: Goodison woes continue as Chelsea struggle to match up

02 May 2022


We provide the statistical analysis and examine the main talking points
from Sunday's defeat at Everton, with a closer look at our recent
struggles against opponents matching our shape…

The Blues were off the pace on Merseyside as we lost our first game on the
road since mid-January, a run of 14 undefeated, with Richarlison's strike
early in the second half the only goal of a tense match.


Mason Mount came closest for the visitors with a sweet effort on the
half-volley that bounced back off both posts before Jordan Pickford saved
improbably from Cesar Azpilicueta on the rebound.


The England goalkeeper then thwarted Antonio Rudiger shortly afterwards
and Mateo Kovacic late in the contest to preserve a precious three points
for the Toffees and force a first Chelsea blank in the Premier League
since that 1-0 loss at Manchester City. It also ensured that we were
beaten for the fourth consecutive game at Goodison Park.


== Premium chances ==


Despite registering almost twice as many efforts on goal as the hosts (17
to nine), it was Frank Lampard's side that finished with a better expected
goals figure of 1.9, indicating that Everton were able to conjure the more
clear-cut opportunities from their limited forays forward.

Once again, those endeavours were aided by individual errors costing the
Blues, not for the first time in recent weeks, as Thomas Tuchel has
highlighted. Azpilicueta was caught in possession by Richarlison and the
Brazilian swiftly found the finish to send Goodison Park into delirium.


When the Toffees' rearguard was breached, Pickford was on hand with five
saves throughout the 90 minutes to claim a much-needed clean sheet. His
smart reflexes and quick footwork were crucial in keeping out Azpilicueta
and Rudiger, the latter stopped unconventionally but effectively by the
keeper's face.


== Shape-shifting struggles ==


One feature of recent Chelsea defeats – this was our fourth in nine
matches – has been the struggles up against opponents who match our
three-man central defence.


Three of those four losses, against Brentford, Arsenal and now Everton,
have been inflicted by coaches tweaking their system, often deploying a
deep five-man backline as the Toffees did here. Everton sacrificed width
for solidity and structure, with the wing-backs more cautious and the
attacking thrust coming through the middle.

shape


Tuchel's side were unable to break through despite having 78 per cent
possession and completing over five times as many passes. While the boss
was right in his assessment that we had gifted our opponents the
sucker-punch they craved once again, our inability to fashion presentable
openings will also have been a big frustration on the journey back to the
capital.


== Making an impact ==


Ruben Loftus-Cheek and Mount were the standout performers for the
visitors, with the former deployed in central midfield and catching the
eye with a few lung-busting drives forward into space.

No player completed more dribbles (three) or won more aerial duels
(three), while only Thiago Silva and Rudiger registered more than his 71
successful passes, with a completion rate of 93 per cent.


Among his defensive duties, the 26-year-old made four tackles and two
interceptions as he also shielded the defence when Everton did venture
forward.

Prior to his half-time withdrawal, midfield partner Jorginho had looked
combative, winning more duels (eight) and making more tackles (five) than
any other player in the first 45 minutes.


Meanwhile, Mount provided much of our creative spark in the final third,
not only going closest to scoring with an effort that twice hit the frame
of the goal, but also with three key passes (a joint game-high figure with
Marcos Alonso) and two successful take-ons.

Yet the man with 10 more goal contributions than any other Chelsea player
this season could not conjure a way through and the Blues were left to rue
another disappointing day on the blue side of Stanley Park.
